Fedora 37 installation
#1
I recently got a pinebook pro and have been playing around with distros to see what I like best. I found the existing instructions available for Fedora, but they didn't work for the 37 beta currently available. I had already installed Tow-Boot and that continued to work fine. Here's what I had to do:
  1. Boot from Fedora 37 live image. I used USB, but SD should also work.
  2. Run the 'Install to Disk' application
  3. Choose the install destination. I reclaimed all space on the emmc and installed there.
  4. There will be error boxes that pop up complaining about problems installing the boot loader. You can choose to continue with the installation.
  5. Once the installer has finished and before rebooting, you need to add a boot loader entry. I did this manually by creating a boot loader entry file here:
    Quote:/mnt/sysimage/boot/loader/entries/fedora37.conf

    With these contents based on the kernel and initramfs images I had present in /mnt/sysimage/boot:
    Quote:title Fedora 37
    options $kernelopts
    linux /vmlinuz-5.19.7-300.fc37.aarch64
    initrd /initramfs-5.19.7-300.fc37.aarch64.img


After rebooting, the system starts up with the newly installed Fedora 37. I also noticed running dnf upgrade created new boot loader entries for the updated kernel packages automatically and it starts up just fine.

Things I have noticed are not working correctly yet:

  1. Sound
  2. Does not wake up from sleep after either closing the lid or pressing the power button.
